We Do Not Praise Others, Ordinarily, But

What We Take For Virtue Is Often Nothing But An Assemblage Of Different Actions, And Of Different Interests, That Fortune Or Our Industry Knows How To Arrange.

True Bravery Means Doing Alone That Which One Could Do If All The World Were By.

Our Self-love Can Less Bear To Have Our Tastes Than Our Opinions Condemned.

That Which Occasions So Many Mistakes In The Computations Of Men, When They Expect Return For Favors, Is That The Giver's Pride And The Receiver's Cannot Agree Upon The Value Of The Kindness Done.

To Know Oneself Is Not Necessarily To Improve Oneself
